Mom of toddlers found outside supermarket arrested

Police have arrested the mother of two toddlers found at about 4 this morning sitting on a curb in their pajamas outside a supermarket in Fairview, Bergen County.

The two boys, ages 1 1/2 and 3, walked out of a house in Cliffside Park and traveled about 200 yards to an A&P supermarket in neighboring Fairview, Lt. Anthony Frato of the Cliffside Park Police said.

Their mother, 24-year-old Cindy Enid Cabrera of Brooklyn, was arrested this morning and charged with two counts of second degree child endangerment.

A cab driver spotted the boys and alerted authorities.

Authorities fanned out and found the house where the boys had been staying. It is not clear whose house they were staying in, possibly a friend of their mother, Frato said. The brothers told officers their names were JoJo and Dre.

Frato said the children are now in the custody of the state and would undergo medical examinations.
